"Lars has never played anything like this in his LIFE"
PPPHAAAHAHAHA!
Deadly accurate. Danny Carey rules.
brian coller that was the video’s Oh SNAP moment. I actually laughed out loud
lars and joey literally pay his salary :P
As a hardcore Metallica fan, I agree. Danny Carey is light years away from Lars.
I love Metallica too. Very few rock/metal drummers can match Danny's skill level. This shit made me laugh HARD though.
Lars and Joey literally pay 0% of this man's salary colon capital p.
Douche
The new tool album is quite possibly one of the greatest drumming albums ever..!!! Danny took it to another level..!!
Yup
It was nice of him to let the other members of the band jam along to his 90 minute drum solo.
He finally got that third eye open or whatever he's always trying to do. Total astral projection
tomtomthebear
Absolutely !! I always been amazed with the bounce control ...this album shows it at a different level this is why he’s such a great percussionist too ....
another world
"spiked baseball bats coming through your soul" this quote deserves a sub.
fuckin eh! that's what i'm talking about
Hell’s yeah - I 💜 it
"I need to listen to Lateralus again". If you havent been, truer words were never spoken. Thats one of the greatest songs ever written. Literally. Its incredible.
The whole album is fucking masterful
I think
he is referring to the entire album.
Accurate. Greatest. Song. Ever.
its an anthem
Yes, to me that album is their magnum opus and this song is the best part... the sound of it is amazing and then add the fact that it incorporates the Fibonacci sequence into the music which coincides with the lyrics and it just makes it that much more amazing... I’m sure you could tell it is my fav by my screen name and picture though, lolz...
I think by having Danny Carey as their drummer, makes Tool, by default one of the luckiest bands ever.
Cheers, mate, great video.
(To clarify! :
They are all really lucky to have each other, don't get me wrong! But his skills alone is enough to warrant my praise. There's a reason many regards him as one of the best drummer of this century.
In short, they are all great and irreplaceable, but this is a drumming/danny video, so don't think I've forgotten about them😉 I have comented the exact same thing on each and every one of them on videos discussing/reacting to them.
Thanks!!
Every single member of the band makes the band the luckiest. I don’t think you’d find another Justin Chancellor or Adam Jones
Agreed! their chemistry is simply out of this world.
But since this is a drummer related video, I just had to praise his outstanding role in the band.
Adam and Justin will get their turn, trust me;)
I don’t think you could find another Maynard either
It's like they all play solo, which turns awesome then.....it comes together and you get TOOL :D
Danny Carey KILLS on the new album
When you watch Danny Carey he really makes you think for sure. As for the new tool Album. One word to describe it. AMAZING!!
one word to describe danny is octopus... the man with 8 arms...
@@seelenwinter6662 He definitely got some unhuman abilities it seems like.
BMO Chocolate Chip Trip was probably the only track that didn’t bore me to tears honestly
Meh. It was pretty bland for Tool standards.
Danny just ruled the world on Pneuma and Chocolate Chip Trip. Cemented the legacy.
Sucks that this man can’t play drums forever. He’s 58 and better than ever. Unreal. Great commentary.
This album was no let down sir what a glorious day to be alive
Andrew Weiss yes it was
Definitely their second best album only behind Lateralus...I had to give it a few listens cause you have to to get the full effect! amazing.
Gage Turner I felt the same way at first brother. I have listened to descending so many times it’s not even funny. I put this above 10k days and Aenima, and it’s still growing on me. Listen dude, closely.
Nice shout out to Jimmy Chamberlain!
Smashing pumpkins was not the same without Jimmy. Underrated, one of my favorites.
100 to everything said here. Loved the Pumpkins with Jimmy so much it almost makes me tear up thinking about it.
Jimmy playing on Gish was my favorite S.P. records !!! Rhinoceros is soooo good !!!
I love it how Steve falls in love with what Danny is doing around 12:25... "Yeah buddy....get you some of that!"
It's OK Steve, we do the very same thing!!!
That gong hit was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.
Went to Lollapalooza in 1997 at the age of 16 primarily to see Korn. I left with a new favorite band in Tool and watching Danny Carey is what made me finally decide to save my money, buy a kit and pick up some sticks. To this day I am a big Tool fan but rarely ever listen to Korn. lol
BTW, the last 4 acts that night were Julian and Damien Marley, Snoop Dogg, Tool and then special guest Prodigy. Yes, Snoop Dogg opened for Tool. By far the strangest line up I have ever seen.
T. Riley Roo funnier that Tool opened for Prodigy 😀
I had the exact same experience.. but lolopolooza in Pittsburgh closes the night out worth Devo... But it was the show that made me love tool
Man that would be my kind of festival
Dany Carey is one of the best of all time.....my absolute favorite drummer of all time!
That groove in the middle kills me! I'm so glad you paused the video and pointed it out. I always annoy my non-drumming friends by making them listen to this song and talking about that seemingly simple groove. Great video man
I could watch a study of Danny Carey videos every day of my life.
having grown up to tool even though i don't know crap about music the more i learn the more that i feel that my brain is between the tempo. love that so much.
that bridge is so fucking cool. not only is he playing a dope 5/8 groove, but over a 6/8 bass and guitar groove.
Damn, this is a real reaction video and I love the way you do it (I'm sure you're really awesome as a teacher). And also I love Danny Carey. It'd be great to have some more of his works. It's really hard to get all the stuff he does with polyrhythms and the way he "plays" with the tempo ( for exemple, that instrumental part on 7empest is absolutely crazy to me), this guy is music.
The section that starts at 9:50 of your video is also a poly-meter, same as the end section of the song. However, the band is playing in 6/8, and Danny is playing in 5/8, which is completely mind bending. Love every second of it!
He’s playing a triple paradiddle in 5/8 on the hh, but his bass is another time signature altogether. Lol, I wish I knew what it is...
10:37 is some of craziest grooves I’ve ever heard. I have listed to this song numerous times and that part always gets me.
Danny Carey teaches everyone without words. Enough said. Like Chuck Norris with roundhouse kicks. 🤜🤛
What an amazing drummer. Straight up.
I'm no drummer, but if I were, watching Danny Carey would be utterly humbling.
It always is
I love how Danny nearly hits the back of his head with the drum stick when he plays with power
just saw Tool and 58yr old danny carey absolutely CRUSH it in memphis. incredible performance at one point during the song invincible i just shook my head looked down at my hands and thought "i am never picking up sticks again" lol it was out of this world
He does that to me too
I feel your excitement. Sometimes when listening to tool you have to just laugh at how ridiculous Danny gets
God the Gong hit was hilarious and badass didn’t even notice when you pointed out
Not just wake up in the morning and play them but writing them as well!!! Epic
"That is advanced Sunday School People" Hahah
“This groove is just so fucking difficult” 18:54 haha I watched this whole video just to see a drummers reaction to this part specifically.
"Its easy" 18:54,
didnt miss a beat with that gong. amazing
Danny and Jimmy are my favorite drummers actually! Thanks for the shoutout to Jimmy!
every day I start my mornings off with a cup of coffee and Lateralus
That massive 7' gong he plays as part of CC Trip in concert blows me away. How he makes that one instrument vibrate an entire building, and then as you said, he smacks the s*** out of it as hard as he can. My fav part of that song played live, for sure
Cool vids man... keep crankin em out
Loved this!! Insightful comments. Cheers.
An advanced dose of adult sunday school! Thanks buddy!
Love your videos! ...SMART, passionate, detail oriented dissection of a drummers capabilities. This sort of commentary is what every student hopes for in his teacher.
You're a wealth of knowledge ; cutting edge perspective of the great practitioners in this field from all musical genres. U a Cool cat...
Thank you. That comment made my day!
Bruford is a huge influence on Danny. Good call.
This is a great video!! Do more Danny Carey - glad I found your channel!
I did!!
That's what people said after 10K Days.
The CD case's phone-sized LCD screen is fantastic. Unique.
Pneuma Pneuma Pneuma
Man, I've been seeing your Tool videos pop up on my feed for a while now and never clicked on them.... I finally decided to watch this one today and realized that I know you! You've played in a couple of bands with my good friend Chris! I miss Downtown King, man... you guys were one of my favorite bands for a while. Anyway, from one Tool head to another, keep up the good work!
those guys didn't let us down... and i knew they wouldn't. top notch. best of the best. proved it again. awesome.
I'm listening as soon as I finish this last lesson of the day.
Wonderful commentary, man. So many true things. My favourite - your remark that Danny hides his unusual and unexpected times better than anyone out there. Absolutely so right. Never says ‘I’m doing this now’. He just does it. One of the greats.
Danny Carry is excellent. Would love to see your analysis of Meshuggah - Bleed. Tomas Haake, of Meshuggah, is another example of a drummer way ahead of the game. Check him out.
Bleed is cool and all, but the live in studio version of Clockworks would make for a more interesting and unique reaction.
@@themillera9 Dont disagree at all my man. Another good one would be Straws Pulled at Random. That song is a syncopated nightmare. Haha.
Danny Carey is my favorite drummer by far. That being said, what about Gavin Harrison from Porcupine Tree?
Or even Hannes Grossmann. That guy is insane.
Yes , I would personally have to include Matt Garstka of Animals as Leaders, and Tim Alexander(herb) of primus are some of my favs also along with Danny ofcourse
Lee Land AAL is insane in general. Admittedly, it’s a bit too much for me most of the time lol. Haven’t really dug in and tried to dissect each instrument with them yet. Tim Alexander does some interesting things though, I agree he should be reviewed. I haven’t given Primus a full listen either tbh. I probably should.
As it turns out, this guy HAS done a review on Gavin Harrison. He doesn’t seem to delve into the harder side of metal though (Hannes Grossmann, Alkaloid, Obscura, etc.)
@@j.r.severt5899 yes and actually you made me have to listen to more porcupine tree.
My favorite Tool song!
As wild and weird as their rhythms get, the grooves they come up with are some of the best in music. I love how each intrument's intertwining parts come together and hit so much harder because of it.
Another great addition to the youtube drum community. Much love junk
Thank you!!
That bridge groove you loved goes even further in that it's in 5s over a bass groove in 6s.
Killer review!!!!
Danny C given 'em the biz!!!!! Absolutely love your review of the awesome Danny Carey. That gong hit was crazy. What a beast on drums. Wow!!! Saw Tool live a few days ago, they f'n killed it. Absolutely beautiful show. Haven't seen them in 13 years. Felt like I was seeing them for the first time. Stunning!!!
@8:02 "He hides his odd times better than anybody." Spot on, Steve! He makes it feel more natural than most drummers can.
An interesting thing, as you brought up some of Danny's hi-hat work, is that I read in an interview with him, he caught the tail end of gigging work where disco grooves were still going strong(him being 58 now). So, if you look back to the earlier stuff from Undertow and Opiate, often times he was incorporating disco hi-hat grooves into a hard rock format. "Sober" is a perfect example, or if you reverse the open/close of the hats, the title track "Undertow". Pretty cool covert historical chops.
Keep up the awesome work! I'm an amateur and still cannot understand much of what you say, but I still love your videos. They're incredible, and let no one tell you otherwise.
Thank you!!
Came back to this since I just found a Danny-inspired drummer for my band. Lateralus is their best album but Fear Inoculum is my favourite since it was my first as a Tool fan and musician.
Loved your Bill Bruford shoutout and comparison! I hadn't thought of that, but yeah, Bruford was amazing too.
I really like your analysis!!
I really like your comment!
Rosetta Stoned is his most complex song, from what I've heard from drummers that have covered it.
That song is straight flame!
Ticks n leeches is definitely the hardest song at least imo
@@drhexagonapus nah lol
@@xImBeaST12321x are u a drummer? Care to share what u think the most difficult tool song is?
drhexagonapus I am adrummer, not that should make my views any more valid cause they are all subjective anyway....... Ignoring all of Fear Inoculum's tracks, cause I think most of those songs are more technical than any other songs from the other albums. To talk about the other albums, Rosetta Stoned, and Triad might be the hardest from the older stuff, but yeah Ticks is still hard, its just not as hard as it sounds anyways. And tbh the part that people think is really hard (the beginning rhythm that persists throughout), is one of the easiest parts- however, it is REALLY hard once you have to add in the double bass. I also think the Grudge is pretty hard.
You should watch Tomas Haake of Meshuggah playing the song "Clockworks"!!!
Hey, man, I like your breakdown and analysis. TooL is my preferred band, and Danny Carey is my favorite drummer for sure. Props to everybody else who likes whomever, my pulse has just always had this Carey-esque rhythm since '93. Thanks for making these. I'm subbing so I can binge watch your others. This is fun with informed insights. See you around, bro.
Thank you very much!!
Lateralus is so great. Also love there new album.
He is phenomenal
Love this
I love when he puts the left stick above his head and does those ghost notes lol
THAT’S GREAT MAN!
KEEP IT UP!
Thanks!!
TOOL and Danny Carrey know how to hide their odd meters because they play in eighth notes and triplets a lot instead of hard chunkier sounding quarter notes. It also seems like the meters are subdivided into smaller pulsing like here in this song: 3, 3, & 3 (which is 9/8) then: 3, 3, & 2 (which is 8/8 -- not a 4/4 feel) and then finally: 3, 2, & 2 (which is 7/8) for this main Laterals riff. This is how they make odd meters grove instead of how a lot of bands do it (like RUSH), where you almost always have that hard ONE like you mentioned. Incidentally, did you know that this song is almost entirely constructed around the mathematical Fibonacci Sequence (everything from the pacing as well as the philosophy of the lyrics, to the music, and even to the time signatures)? Here check it out; this will completely blow your mind: ua-cam.com/video/uOHkeH2VaE0/v-deo.html
Didn't think much of the album on first listening. But the more you listen it's a masterpiece
Your reactions are the best! Just owned a sub!
What makes it worthy of our time, is that you have actual input to give us about the performances, it's not just a "reaction". Keep going bro!
Thank you. I will be!!
That was insightful Thanks
New danny carey drumcam just came out! Playin Pneuma in HD!! thats a first
Danny Carey is the KING is syncopation.
Love your videos do more tool please
So glad you mentioned the hi hat rhythm at 11:00 As a drummer myself it took weeks just to run through once without a mistake. Danny plays the hi hat double hit quarter open twice then double hit half open twice. My trick was the quarter note to use heel down foot up and for the halfs I just raised my whole foot to get the quick louder hihat wash sound. The album version you can hear the subtle difference but DC doesnt slack he plays it live as well. A true master! Great overview BTW! ~Sub'd~
10:38 is always my reaction when that groove comes in
it’s badass (been practicing that segment for fun really screws your brain 😂)
I agree. I find the most difficult part is getting the right amount of power on the bass drum, when my brain is stressed thinking of the triplets on the high-hat.
Hey Steve! Just want to say off the bat I love your channel! I have a 13-year old who won a spot as set drummer in middle school jazz band and is gearing up for drum line in high school - we loved your drum line video - very inspirational for us! Keep it going man, love your knowledge and cool laid back approach.
Carl Palmer maybe? Saw someone else asked for that in your teachers mistake video. Laughed my ass off with the clean shirt comment. JTF
Thank you so much!! That comment made my day. Tell your child congratulations on all that hard work. And keep practicing until it's easy!!
Hey man, Ran across this listening to Fear Innoc and I love your videos already! keep it up spiral out!
Thank you!!
I really appreciate you taking the time to drop some knowledge about one of my favorite drummers. You mentioned Jimmy Chaimberlain, another absolute all-time favorite. From a total know-nothing perspective, I have always said my favorite thing about watching Danny is the incredible leverage he has over the drum set. He's a large human being, and for that reason I think he just has a fairly unique look.
TheSkyline75 large is an understatement! He’s so big, his view of his drums is probably like a satellite pic! I’d be surprised if he could even see a 6” tom from that altitude!
Not sure if someone else has mentioned this but Danny has said Bill Bruford is one of his favorite drummers, possibly his favorite. Great comparison! I’m in love with Fear Inoculum, and I can’t believe it’s been over a year already. Love the video
I've played this song everyday for like 3 months and now i can almost do it perfect
"Lars has never played anything like this in his life" 💀
and he newer will bt that doesnt make him a bad drummer hes just different and Danny is an alien.
Lars is a drummer
Danny is a percussionist ninja
@@T25de he is an octopus... the man with 8 arms...
T 25 I’d barely call lars a drummer. He makes a much better interviewer.
Matt Garstka from Animals as Leaders. Song called Ectogenesis.
Nice breakdown! I can’t play drums worth a lick, but still love the insight.
This drummer is not of this world and I don't care who thinks other drummers are better u have that right but Danny plays with so much heart his life is the drums and I beleive he will keep studying them until he leaves this place but to you people that don't think he's the best all I d got to say is Rosetta stoned triad aennima lateralas it just don't end the creativeness and the fact that he rites music like this still is amazing and in my opinion badest fucking drummer to ever walk the earth live on Danny and tool
Tool plays from the soul
Love Danny Carey!! Any chance you can do a vid on Tim "Herb" Alexander of Primus?
My analogy of D. C. is that the band is playing together in a rehearsal studio. The four of them are facing each other and they all have in ear monitors. Danny can see what his bandmates are playing, but he has the in ears from the rehearsal room next door. Brilliant. And great reaction. Subbed.
Great video Steve. 21 year old from the UK here whose been a drum teacher for just a few months. Finding your videos interesting from the perspective of someone whose been doing it for a while longer than me.
Also would love to see a Jimmy Chamberlin video, very unique and quite underrated IMO!
You should check this out then. Thanks for watching!!

@@JunkdrummerTV Great, thanks!
His drumming is effortless and elegant. Odd time is a walk in the park with poodles 💩 and in a fucking sand storm in snow with pigs flying by.
All time favorite band, big thumbs up man. Check out I Know by Helmet off the Betty album, probably my favorite drum intro. Always just stuck with me. I know there are a ton of great ones out there, but the drums from Helmet always got me
Just found your channel. I love your choice of drummers and your stance on music and musicians. Already subscribed of course. On the topic of danny and future reviews. You surely must do some videos on jimmy chamberlain! He and danny are so similar to me. Great limb independence. Big tall guys. Awesome high hat technique. Great dynamics. Great speed and looseness. Also some great videos of jimmy on youtube. I'll be so amped when you eventually do a jimmy video. Thanks mate!
Stick around. He'll becoming up.
@@JunkdrummerTV I look forward to it!
Great video.If you can you should react to the new tool album that comes out tomorrow. Danny's drumming is absolutely insane in the new record.
Have just gone down a rabbithole with your videos man, keep up the great work. I bet you’ve had this a lot but I’d be interested to see your option of Brann Dailor from Mastodon. There’s some good Drum cam video of him too.
I was waiting on the slick gong hit.... you did not disappoint 😂❤️
Great video, and very informative in an easy to understand way. Ever heard of a bunch of Yanks called Car Bomb? Very challenging drums.
Dude I'm 39, been playing since I was 6, I love Tool, Pantera etc. I love your analysis and what you zero in on with these guys is exactly what I zero in on. I'll obsess over the same licks for days and weeks sometimes then wait years to use it in a song
so much fun to watch you just enjoy the drumming and have your lid blown like the rest of us dirty casuals.
I listened to little over half of
the album before the stream I was listening to got taken down but my first impression of the album was.... Holy shit uncompressed drums. It's so nice to hear drums that actually sound like drums in 2019.
I know it's crazy, who knew uncompressed drums is still possible in metal / prog . Ha! Lol. So many metal drummers have been victim to cookie cutter ,over compressed, trigger drumming.
